Methods for handwriting in Song-style characters:

1. Tips on holding the pen: It is best not to get the penholder stuck in the tiger's mouth, but move it slightly closer to the base of the index finger, so that writing will be straighter horizontally and vertically.

2. In terms of structure: thin horizontal drawings and thick vertical drawings.

3. One end is thick and the other is thin.

4. When finishing the stipple painting, you should be smoother.

5. Square or written as a right-angled trapezoid (the upper right corner is slightly less than 90 degrees).

6. Pay attention to writing in corners, horizontal folds and other places.

Song style is a Chinese character font that appeared to adapt to printing technology. The strokes vary in thickness, and are generally thin horizontally and thick vertically. There are decorative parts (i.e. "foots" or "serifs") at the ends. Strokes such as dots, strokes, strokes, and hooks have tips, and they belong to serif fonts. Commonly used for text layout in books, magazines, and newspapers.

The culture of the Song Dynasty flourished, and the printing industry developed tremendously. From the Southern Song Dynasty, fonts similar to block letters began to appear in printing workshops in Lin'an and other places, which were later called imitation Song fonts. During the Ming Dynasty, literati sought to engrave books from the Song Dynasty, so engravers thickened the vertical lines and stroke endpoints imitating the Song style to resist wear and tear on the engraving, but they still called it "Song style". The modern so-called Song style is basically formed in this way.
